šŸ’˜ fractional cupid has arrived

cards for clients + chocolates for you inside

table of funtents

As a reminder, I started building keshty in public because:

- Most of us donā€™t come from a long line of entrepreneurs (me included)

- I wanted to equip minority misfits with tools to scale their own impact

- HENCE, I needed to live transparently (no BS) through my own journey

šŸ‘‹šŸ¼ itā€™s me, hi

HAPPY WEDNESDAY, MISFITS!

Idk about yā€™all, but this has truly been the struggliest month ever. Everyone I know is either sick, exhausted or both - and the nonstop rain and colour grey in London is absolutely relentless.

Iā€™ll go into exactly how I f*cked this month up for myself in next weekā€™s episode (weā€™re no BS building in public, after all).

But I hope you donā€™t mind me keeping it light and easy this week (Cupid calls for it).

ICYMI, this Friday is capitalismā€™s 2nd favourite holiday: International Oxytocin Enhancement Day!!!

Restaurants will roll out their extortionate Valentineā€™s Set Menus and flowers will have a 400% markup, but we love it anyway.

happy v-day šŸ’

I wish I could be one of those newsletter writers: ā€œIā€™m giving away my FREE GUIDE TO LIFE this Valentineā€™s Day!!ā€ Alas, Iā€™m not.

Instead, Iā€™m going to give you the gift of cringe, laughter (hopefully) and wisdom in a sweet lil package.

If youā€™re wondering what really gets me going on v-day, the answerā€™s simple:

  1. Comic Sans Valentineā€™s cards

  2. 18ct gold, BS-free chocolates

Rogue? You bet. Letā€™s dive in.

šŸ’Œ cringe v-day cards

Every minority misfit needs something to give their clients this Valentineā€™s Day (HR would actually disagree, and theyā€™re probably right).

Anywhooo, swap the boring bouquet for one of these cards* instead! I made them for you with my own two hands (Canva helped).

* these are for your fun use but if you share more widely, please give me credit!

šŸ’ dive into something sweet

Weā€™re proud to announce the below chocolates have something for everyone: theyā€™re gluten-free, dairy-free and BS-free.

If youā€™re new to the minority misfit, joined part-way into the fun or are simply a sucker for nostalgia, this box is for you.

Just pick your preferred piece to be taken to heavenly bliss (or a couple - go on, no oneā€™s watching).
